Le Surmer Self Catering Chalets

The accommodation boasts friendly staff, clean and spacious bungalows, convenient location, and a good breakfast value. However, some guests found the mattresses hard and the bedding average.

Fantastis stay! Very spacious units are across the road from the private beach. The beach is shallow but this is pretty much like everywhere in La Digue: on the west coast it is shallow, on the east coast quite deep but you can't swim because of the big swell. They got kind of rustic federation furniture, very cute. The kitchen has everything you need for self catering even a rice cooker. There is also a chef working on site, very good cook! Continental breakfast for 15 Euro probably not worth it but his creole cooking is fabulous. Because we stayed there for more than 7 nights business treated us with complimentary dinner on last night - outstanding grilled fish! And you can rent a bycicle onsite. The only downside was the state of their facilities, the premises are outdated and could benefit from some refurbishment: in the kitchen the ceiling fan was stuck on one speed and the chain switch was missing, oven seal was broken so the door would not shut completely pushing plenty of heat out. But the main good impression is their staff. Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly and Junia is a gem! She kept our chalet immaculately clean and helped with some advices. P.S. When we were leaving they started a construction of a big restaurant on the beach so I am not sure how good it is there now.
